Anthony Bechtatou - Faites Du Bruit

Anthony Bechtatou brings Faites du bruit to Le Boui-Boui

At Le Boui-Boui, we love nothing more than welcoming an artist who thrives on closeness with the audience, and Anthony Bechtatou embodies that spirit with disarming ease. Faites du bruit is a high-energy, room-wide conversation—part razor-sharp stand-up, part joyful call-and-response—that comes alive in our intimate space. From the moment the lights drop and the first punchline lands, you can feel the room lean in: the rhythm of the set, the quick pivots between observations, and the playful crowd work are all amplified by the close quarters and warm acoustics that our stage is known for. Anthony’s material mines the everyday—phones that won’t stop buzzing, the low-grade chaos of city life, the delicate dance of friendships and family—and then flips it with quick wit and a performer’s instinct for timing. Expect a show that leans into spontaneity: improvised exchanges, callbacks that knit the hour together, and those moments when laughter turns into a collective roar—exactly the kind of electricity that “Faites du bruit” invites, and that Le Boui-Boui is built to amplify.

From the club to the wider scene: a snapshot of his current momentum

What excites us most, beyond the onstage fireworks, is witnessing Anthony Bechtatou’s creative momentum from a front-row vantage point. In recent months he has been honing new material across club stages, shaping the narrative arc of Faites du bruit while refining the musicality of his delivery—those rapid-fire set-ups, the syncopated pauses, and the deft taglines that keep a laugh rolling. His presence has been growing beyond the stage as well, with short-form clips and behind-the-scenes snippets giving audiences a taste of the live experience and revealing a craftsman at work on the bones of a fresh hour. That offstage attention feeds into the room: we see audiences arriving already keyed into his style, ready for the quick turns and the light-touch satire that have become his signature. It’s a virtuous circle—new bits tested in clubs, sharpened with audience feedback, then fed back into a tour that favors contact, immediacy, and the kind of generous energy that a venue like ours can hold without losing a single beat or breath.

Faites du bruit, as it plays at Le Boui-Boui, is more than a title—it’s the engine of the show. Anthony uses sound as a comic motif: the noise of notifications, urban soundscapes, the hush before a punchline, the sudden swell of laughter. He plays with volume like a conductor, inviting the room to be a character: a murmur becomes a build, a shout becomes a payoff, and the laughter itself becomes part of the score. You’ll catch observational riffs that spiral into playful exaggerations, layered callbacks that reward attention, and interactive moments that leave each performance slightly different from the last. Our compact stage and close seating intensify that effect; every reaction matters, and Anthony reads them like a seasoned pro, steering from tenderness to absurdity and back again. If you’re a regular at Le Boui-Boui, you’ll recognize the hallmarks of a show built for a club: tight writing, bright pacing, and an artist who treats the front row and the back row with the same mischievous affection. If you’re discovering him here for the first time, you’ll understand why word-of-mouth has been building: this is contemporary stand-up at its most alive, testing new ideas in real time and turning a night out into a shared piece of comic theatre.
